Removing this conf file makes the emoji font load fine. I am unsure whether to consider this as a regression, but for now I will close this issue.</div></blockquote><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After running "<span>dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config</span>" and enabling bitmap fonts the color emoji indeed work again.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Greetings,</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Markus<br></div>
